GIYANI ACQUIRES FORMER MANGANESE PRODUCING MINE IN
BOTSWANA
OAKVILLE, ONTARIO – April 11, 2017 – Giyani Gold Corporation (TSXV:WDG,
KT9: GR) (“Giyani” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of six new
prospecting licenses that encompass the past producing Kgwakgwe Hill Manganese Mine
located in the Kanye Basin, Southeastern Botswana. Binding agreements have been
signed with Everbroad Investments (Pty) Limited and Marcelle Holdings (Pty) Limited to
acquire an 88% interest in PL322/2016 (Kgwakgwe Hill License) and 100% interest in
PL336/2016 to PL340/2016 (adjacent to Kgwakgwe Hill) inclusive by making cash pay-
ments totaling US$75,000.
The Kgwakgwe Hill project covers a supergene system containing high-grade manganese
nodules. Manganese ore mined from 1957 to 1967 at Kgwakgwe Hill consisted almost
entirely of such high-grade manganese oxide nodules grading 40-50% total manganese
(Source: Botswana Notes and Records, Vol.30, p. 147-156).
The deposit lies within the Kanye Basin, which is underlain by rocks of the Transvaal
Supergroup (“Transvaal”). The Transvaal hosts roughly 80% of the world’s manganese
reserves and has been identified in Botswana both under cover beneath Kalahari sands
and in local outcrop within the project area. This deposit is of particular interest to Giyani
because it is proof of concept that manganese deposits exist in Botswana and that the
manganese displays simple yet ideal chemical compositions and grade characteristics that
would be attractive to battery manufacturers.
Giyani will immediately commence with field exploration on Kgwakgwe Hill and the
surrounding area with the objective of outlining an economic deposit and developing a
mining strategy to extract high grade selected material at quantities tailored to meet the
specifications of the new battery types developed today.
